Well I tried setting up my apex classic ato with a float switch and it works except with the switch in the closed position the outlet will kick on and off every few mins . here is how I have it setup in Fusion . Am I doing something wrong .

Did you use the task in fusion to set it up?

No I did the advanced because on the ATO task it was asking for two float switches . I always remember being able to plug the float switches in the break out box and using it that way . But it has also been like 6 years since I set this up . Wasn’t sure if things had changed .

You need to add a defer statement to keep it from short cycling on and off with water turbulence.

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If MOS_LO OPEN Then ON
If MOS_HI CLOSED Then OFF
When On > 015:00 Then OFF
Defer 000:10 Then ON
Defer 000:04 Then OFF
Min Time 010:00 Then OFF
